"WHAT / SAW IN MExICO"-Dr. O. F. Presbrey
gave very interesting lecture Tuesday evening in
the hall on corner OF and Sth streets northeast
kVery seat was filled. The story OF the lecturers
travels Of several THOUSAND miles In that famous
tabled country OF the Aztec, the Indian and the
Spanlard held the undivided attention TO his ati-
dlehce. III was curious TO realize In some degree
how far up Ia the air most OF the Mexican cirtps
are-the city or Mexico, for instance, being more
or less, mile and nall farther up In the sky
than Washington. The ways and customs OF that
land where the rule OF action is ALWAYS ..to-mOr-
row, and the lnyariable answer to all questions
is'Nho Knows" (9uien Sd6e!) where the linen wear
silver-oespangled pants, immense broad hats and
a blanket, and the women skip along the street
with reboSa over Their heads and closely drawn
about tler faces, so as 10 show only their eyes;
where there are no fire places, and In the homes OF
the common people the bed Is simply a rug on the
moor, and where they have no beer or wine but
get drunk on pulque; where the neat on the sun
nyside OF the street Is torrid and on The shady
side the cold Is ihgid; where the donkey Is the
bearer anu carrier Ot all burdens, excepting such
as poor omen carry on their hedds-is very mar
Vicious. Bat our Traveller went along royalty In com
pan! Win sixty Others In palace car having kitch-
en- anu dlhlnS saloon attached, and was enabled
10 De very comfortable and therefore philosophi-
cal. III Is evident that the railroads and the push
OF traie are waxing up the drowsy dons and the
apathetlc Indians. and that when we are ready TO
annex Mexico she Will have learned much OF Yam
kee way and notions. When that time comes no
doubt Ill her libraries there Will be found wealth
OF lore about tine early days or Mexico and per
maps, OF contemporary affairs In Spain that Is now
Dut little dreamed OF. In the meantime Washington
city Is a better place Tor steady residence than
the land Of the Aztec, and IL is better 10 live up TO-
ward the north pole rather than up In the air TO-
ward the sun.
